My mother spoke to me about prayer in these terms: "Some prayer, some power, More prayer, more Power. Much prayer, much power." Add to that these words from Martyn Lloyd-Jones: "Man is at his greatest and highest when, upon his knees, he comes face-to-face with God." You have as much or as little of God's power in your life as you're willing to pray to receive. "God is no respecter of persons" (Acts 10:34).
Jesus did not teach His disciples how to preach or how to raise money, but He did teach them to pray. He began where we must begin: "Our Father in Heaven" (Matthew 6:9). When you come to your almighty God, you come to the God who loves you as your Father. He can make a way when there seems no way, and He cannot fail. He will plant you by rivers of water (Psalm 1:3). The new opportunity that is right in front of you, He can cause to explode with possibilities.
